As in all the Baleares, anchoring is forbidden (except in the very depth of the bay) but moorings are plentiful. To book a mooring you have to log in to a hopeless online booking system. After many attempts we managed to book a mooring for 10hrs to the price of 84Euros !

This was all rectified once in Cala Fornell when we had human contact with the harbourmaster who could verify our payment and gave us 2 nights on our chosen mooring.

The north coast of Menorca has a large population of lobsters and several restaurants focus on making delicious lobster menues.

Day after our arrival S/Y Sonora made landfall crewed by Manoel and Monica from Vigo in Galicia.

Monica and Manoel are sailingfriends of Mercedes and they attended our wedding in Stockholm last year.

I took the dinghy to assist with mooringlines amazed by Sonora, a drop dead beautiful Oyster 72.

They picked up some friends in the village and then generously invited us all for Lobster á La Fornell.

After a delcious lunch we took our dinghys to S/Y Sonora to see it´s interior and have a drink.

The Oyster sailboats have a striking reputation and it´s easy to see why
